To be perfectly honest, once my descent into extreme metal started,Lordi went from a beloved band to a curious pastime. Good stuff when you don't want to use your brain and just rock out. Unfortunately, Babez for Breakfast fails to be even that, falling more in the category of: "Whoops, I guess we're gonna have to rely on our masks to make the sales, boys!"

Haven't heard the album yet, but whats with all the song names having rock or some similar term in them? Are they trying to convince us of something? >.> Not many songs seem to deal with monsters or dead stuff. I'll still give it a shot, after all, they are just names.

Listening to it now. I kind of want to stab my ears and i'm only halfway in.

Edit: Finished. This is a terrible release. I'm a big fan of Lordi, All the albums up to this i've liked a lot, even Deadache. This album, while not a massive change in style, does have a change and most of that is purely in songwriting. The evil lyrics about monsters and ghosts killing people are gone, replaced with happier things like singing about how we need to rock and dance. The music still sounds like Lordi, don't get me wrong, but the lyrics themselves are absolutely horrendous. They put up a few failed attempts at referencing something creepy or weird amongst the happy verses, but they generally end up sounding lame and corny. The only other major difference is the keyboards which seem to play a much larger role in this album than in any previous release. The sound quality seems to be lacking also...

Overall, I gave it a 5 and that's pushing it. Mostly because 'This Is Heavy Metal' is a great song which any Lordi fan would eat up. Other than that though... Devil's Lullaby and Rock Police aren't all bad.
